Neighborhood Description

Within the expansive 150-acres of greenspace and native prairie on the SE Corner of 151st & Quivira in Overland Park, a rare opportunity awaits prospective homeowners of Bluestem, Overland Park's premier community.

Located in the heart of the Overland Park growth corridor, Bluestem offers a new perspective on residential communities. Extensive amenities and quality-built homes are tucked amid picturesque surroundings that feature a heavy emphasis on nature and environmental considerations.

An elegant entrance and heavily treed boulevard greets residents and guests while rolling hills and treed surroundings enhance 60 acres of natural open space located throughout Bluestem, resulting in a rustic charm that extends into a welcoming setting. Yet Bluestem's prime Overland Park location also reflects the modern convenience available thanks to a close proximity to shops, entertainment, services and award winning Blue Valley Schools.

The second phase is underway at Bluestem, and prospective homeowners can select from 40 premium home sites on which to create a custom-built home. Prices will typically range from $400,000s to the $900,000s+, and furnished model homes from a renowned building team that includes James Engle Custom Homes, Roeser Homes, Summit Custom Homes and Starr Homes, are open for daily viewing.

As construction activity continues within the community, an extensive amenities package was recently completed that allows homeowners to enjoy an active lifestyle, as well as take full advantage of Bluestems abundance of acreage. A sizable lake serves as one of the communitys focal points with more than one and a half miles of trails winding throughout Bluestem offering views of wildlife and greenspace all along the way. The community swimming pool and cabana complex includes a full sized pool, childrens pool, cabana, play area, and sport court that can be enjoyed by all members of the family.

With today's emphasis on dense, mixed-use developments, communities like Bluestem are rare. Formerly known as Daybreak Ridge, the community was the victim of an uncertain economy. One of Johnson County's oldest and most successful developers, Prime Development, recognized an exceptional opportunity to continue the community's vision, a plan that was modified to reflect the company's development philosophy, attention to detail and commitment to environmental sustainability.

A commitment to maintaining open spaces and neighborhood amenities, as found within Bluestem, is not only an environmental benefit, but also provides space to breathe, reflect, and appreciate nature as well as allow for chance meetings with neighbors and friends.

Maintaining this sort of commitment to the area's natural features is a primary component of Prime Development's philosophy. When making the decision to purchase within Bluestem, prospective homeowners can feel secure that the community is part of the Prime Development family, an Overland Park-based real estate company that prides itself on a long-running, financially secure history within the local real estate market. Prime Development's skilled and experienced team brings a wealth of knowledge to the table, as well as a sense of pride in a continuing commitment to top-selling neighborhoods that are more than cookie-cutter subdivisions. Instead, prospective homeowners will find thoughtful residential enclaves that blend natural terrain, including restored prairie and wetland areas, with modern conveniences to create a community that's both environmentally respectful and appealing to a variety of residents.

Bluestem is served by the award-winning Blue Valley School District. Prospective homeowners are encouraged to visit the community and experience the green, open surroundings that make Bluestem a truly special place to call home.
